spreadsheets and presentations. There's no software to download, and all
your work is stored safely online and can be accessed from any computer.

7. How 2.0 Use Google Docs
with Your Students
O Write a collaborative story. One student writes the beginning and then
another add the second paragraph. The third adds to it and so on and
on.
O Group planning for projects , each member can contribute their
information and the teacher can view the revision history anytime.
O Collaborative note-taking and brainstorming activities.
O Instead of saving Word files or emailing back and forth, the student can
work on a document on Google docs and access it from school and
home. They will always have access to it and as a teacher you won't
hear "I forgot it at home" or "I have a different program at home".
O Have your classroom create a class newsletter. Invite various students
to work on the document at the same time.
O If all students have access to the same document, you could use it for
class announcements or assignments. This is much easier than making
and maintaining a class webpage.
O Insert photos onto a Google Doc to share with classmates

9. JING
Jing is free image and video capturing software that you can share
instantly over the web, email, or even just save to your desktop. You
simply download Jing to your desktop and it will sit at the top of your
desktop.
If you want to use Jing for video capture, you simply take your mouse,
click and drag the area of the screen you want to capture and click. Then
select to “Capture Video.” You can either record with narration or not.
Once you’re done recording, it will automatically upload your video to
Screencast – where you can store up to 2 GB of storage, and access
direct links and embedding code for your videos.
If you want to use Jing for image capture, you simply take your mouse,
click and drag the area of the screen you want tot capture and click. Now,
instead of click “Capture Video,” you’ll click “Capture Image.” Jing allows
you to add text, arrows, boxes, and even highlighting areas to your image.
You can save it, copy it to the clipboard, or send it to screencast.

10. How 2.0 Use Jing With Your
Students
You can create training videos for your students, and give them feedback.
There are a few things to remember while using Jing:
You don’t have to click and drag for the video capture – Jing will also automatically
register the size of the browser (if you’re using a browser)
Jing does not resize videos like YouTube or Vimeo would do. Keep that in mind when
selecting the size of your video.
Use Jing instead of Print Screen! That way you don’t have to do all that cropping – you
can just select what you want. You can also spice up your image capture with the text,
arrows, highlighting, etc.
Remember that on the free version of Jing, each video can be a maximum of 5 minutes.
